Screams Of Silenceby Tim Chambers

Begone ye screams of silence, harbingers of painCloaked in isolation, you mock in harsh disdainMy soul is torn asunder, I curse you, God of HellAs you pierced my tortured soul, what horrors I befell.You spoke of quiet solitude, to tempt me to your lairThen lanced me in my troubled heart, to depths of dark despairNemesis, I beg of thee, rise up in righteous ireProtect me from Tisiphone, from Hell's eternal fireWith all my voice I scream to you, protect me from the nightAlas, in forlorn desperation, I journey to the lightBanished to mind's Coventry, I heed the demon's callBeckoned by the silent screams, I enter Dante's hall.http://www.netpoets.com/poems/depress/0164002.htm*****Suicide Poem, A Sonnetby Stage DivaWas I bewitched so by the thin red lineTo notice not that time released its holdAnd let pale Iris snip the silver twineTo steal sweet youth before it turned to gold.Existence now is not what I was told;No seraphim and harps to grace my ear,Just silence, painful silence, and the coldDiscomfort of my masochistic fear,So icy cold, yet somehow seems to searMy soul until the ache's too much to bare,As mortal life mirages now appear:Intangible are they; away they tear.Mistake, it was; the curtain fell too soonWhen razor's edge did charm me like the moon.http://www.netpoets.com/poems/depress/0315002.htm*****

Darkened Cigarettesby Shane Downing

Alone, in front of the expanse of black,Light from the side but faith no more,A moment to ponder before I crack,And I reach for the pain without a sore.It eludes me, that devious and sly thought,Leaving the notion of immense disease,A smile - receiving the item that I sought,But it's a lie - I'm brought to my knees.One, the sender, blinks and turns away,Finding solace in personal deceptions,Letting this helpless being cry and stray,Upon the brink of futile conceptions.Once - just maybe - there had been the rose,Impish grins shining to respond in aluminum,But the heart - it feels what the mind knows,Sensing pain in edifices and a small crumb.Falling, now, with no signs of stopping known,Occasional hints with the facade of light to see,Snapping and breaking every single bone,Yet one would see an untouched body.Light - the purifying source of all knowledge and lies,Those Mundane objects re-attaching mortal debts,Here - no, perhaps there, light returns and deeply sighs,Streaming the curling smoke of darkened cigarettes.http://www.netpoets.com/poems/depress/0455003.htm**************

If I would write about how I feel for the last five years or so... it would be something like these poems...
